Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 30 Changle County

Four months later, outside a city called Changle County in the western border of Zhangzhou.

Leng Feibai stood at the city gate, his face full of fatigue.

For the past four months, Leng Feibai has been honing his martial arts and refining his internal strength in Fengyun Ridge. If he had not run out of the dry food he bought, he would not have run out of the mountains and come to Changle County.

"Go in first and have a good rest!"

Leng Feibai looked at the setting sun and yawned, "After we get a good rest, we'll leave for Lanzhou tomorrow and deal with the bandits there."

Although Changle County is a small county, the construction within the city is also good.

Leng Feibai wandered around the city for a while, then found a nearby roadside stall, ordered a bowl of wonton noodles, and started to feast on it.

"woooooo"

Just as Leng Feibai was enjoying the food, a crying sound came into his ears.

Following the sound, I saw a strong man in coarse clothes pulling a cart towards me.

Lying on the top of the car were a woman and a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old. Leng Feibai rubbed his eyes. If he was not mistaken, the two people in the car had been dead for a long time.

The sturdy man was heard crying as he walked, "Mr. Wu, do you have any conscience? You have been watching my son grow up, how could he touch your family's money and food! My son has never stolen anything from you, and you actually beat him to death. My wife worked so hard to raise her son, and you beat her to death. You are forcing my wife to die! My family is all honest people, how could we end up with our family broken up... I..."

After the strong man finished speaking, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. His body twitched twice and then he stopped moving.

"Damn it!"

Leng Feibai cursed inwardly, activated the Five Contemplations of Calming the Mind, and stepped forward to check.

"The man died of heart palpitations from overwork. The woman had a red mark on her neck, probably from hanging herself. As for this baby..."

Leng Feibai looked at the young man's body and couldn't help but gasp, "There are at least dozens of bruises. Who would do such a thing..."

Just as Leng Feibai was thinking, an extremely arrogant voice came from a distance.

"Get out of the way!"

Leng Feibai looked up and saw a middle-aged man in brocade clothes leading a dozen servants armed with sticks rushing over.

Seeing this, an old man who was buying vegetables nearby hurriedly said, "Young Master, please leave quickly. That person is from the Wu family and is not a good person!"

Leng Feibai ignored them, stood up and looked at the group of people indifferently.

The middle-aged man pretended not to notice Leng Feibai and spat on the ground, saying, "Now that they're all dead, it saves me a lot of trouble. Now I can buy the Zhu family's land and build a new house!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man turned around and was about to take his people away.

"Wait!"

Leng Feibai turned around and said coldly, "You killed this kid!"

When the middle-aged man heard this, he turned to look at Leng Feibai, his eyes mesmerized for a moment, "Oh, there's actually a white-haired boy here. If I present him to the Second Young Master, it will definitely be a great achievement."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he waved his hand and said to the servant behind him, "Capture this kid and let him know that this is not the way to gain attention!"

Just as the servants were about to step forward, they felt a breeze blowing past their ears, and then a series of heavy punches hit them.

The crowd watching on the street only blinked a few times before they saw all the servants brought by the middle-aged man fly into the river not far away.

"you you you!"

The middle-aged man looked at Leng Feibai who was gradually approaching him, his eyes full of panic. He gritted his teeth and said, "I am the steward of the An Mansion. If you dare to touch me, just try it!"

"shut up"

Leng Feibai raised his hand and kissed the middle-aged man, pressing his head and saying, "Look into my eyes!"

As Leng Feibai was speaking, his mind-control technique took effect and the middle-aged man's eyes immediately became blurred.

"Your name!" "Wu Jingkui!"

"What happened to this child's death?"

Wu Jingkui tilted his head and said, "Master took a concubine from Chunhua Pavilion and wanted to use the Zhu family's house to expand the garden. However, the Zhu family's wife refused to sell the house, using the excuse that the head of the family was away. So I came up with a plan for Master. I tricked the Zhu family's brat into working for the Wu family, then falsely accused him of stealing money and killed him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people watching around started cursing.

"I knew this Wu guy had bad intentions!"

"The Wu and Zhu families have been friends for generations. If the Wu family hadn't hooked up with a big shot in the Ministry of Industry in Kyoto, how could they have become so wealthy?"

"The Wu family usually bullies men and women in Changle County. Today, in order to seize the real estate, they did something so cruel as to wipe out the entire family."

"Outrageous, truly outrageous!"

Leng Feibai listened to what the people around him said, a murderous look flashed in his eyes, he raised his hand to break Wu Jingkui's mind control technique, and slapped him away again.

"Get out, get out!"

Wu Jingkui came back to his senses, looked at Leng Feibai with resentment, and said, "Little beast, if you have the guts, don't leave. If you offended me in Changle County, I will make you live a life worse than death!"

After saying that, Wu Jingkui led the guards who had climbed out of the river and ran towards the outside of the city.

Leng Feibai snorted coldly, took out twenty taels of silver, and placed it in front of the stall owner, saying, "Boss, here's the money for the meal. For the rest, please help me buy three coffins and find someone to bury the Zhu family!"

The stall owner nodded and said, "Don't worry, young man. I will do my best."

The people watching around also nodded, indicating that they would be responsible for the Zhu family's funeral.

Leng Feibai said nothing and turned into a stream of light to chase after him.

A moment later, Leng Feibai secretly followed Wu Jingkui to a farm outside the city.

The manor covers a large area, about several acres.

"Damn you, white-haired brat! Wait until I tell the master to bring all the guards with him to capture you and give you a good torture!"

After Wu Jingkui finished speaking, a hand as white as jade inserted into his chest and dug out his heart.

"A worthy death!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he threw several punches, killing all the servants who followed him. Then he picked up Wu Jingkui's body and threw it towards the Wu family's manor.

The corpse flying out of nowhere immediately attracted the attention of the guards at the door. One of them immediately stepped forward to check. When he saw that it was Wu Jingkui, he immediately went into the house to report.

Leng Feibai snorted coldly, took out a set of night clothes and put them on, then rushed into the manor under the cover of night.

Inside the manor, Leng Feibai landed on the roof of the hall after a few jumps, lifted a tile and looked down.

In the hall, the Wu family, who had just finished their meal, gathered in the hall immediately upon hearing that Wu Jingkui had been killed.

"Who did this!"

The man who was speaking had gray hair and was holding a cane in his hand. Beside him was a little girl in her early twenties, holding his arm.

This old man was none other than the head of the Wu family, Wu Fa.

Wu Fa looked at the corpse on the ground and said through gritted teeth, "That blind fellow in Changle County dared to touch anyone from my Wu family. I'm going to kill him!"

Leng Feibai on the roof clenched his fists, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

"father!"

A middle-aged man in his thirties said, "Who has the guts to attack Manager Wu? And why did you bring us to the suburbs to escape the summer heat?"
